The fact that you’re now reading this manual shows that you’ve got at least
as opening the carton containing your new Star LaserPrinter 4111. This
chapter will help you to unpack the printer, set it up, and get it running.
First, though, you should make some preparations. You may already have
decided on the printer’s new location. Whether you have or have not, run
through this checklist of requirements:
l Environmental control
The printer and toner cartridge should never be exposed to strong sunshine
or other direct heat sources. It should also be located away from air
conditioning ducts, dust and fumes. Excessive moisture should be
avoided, such as humidity in excess of 80% or less than 20%. If it is
comfortable for you, then it will be comfortable for your printer.
l A large, strong table or stand
The printer weighs approx. 22Slbs (1Okg) and must be firmly supported.
Also, the printer will need more room than it takes up in the shipping
carton, because the paper tray will extend forward from the front; so plan
for a space at least 2 x 3.2 ft (0.6m’).
l A three-pronged outlet
The outlet should be no more than 8 feet (2Sm) from the printer (the length
of the power cord), preferably one shielded from power fluctuations. In
any case, no motor-driven appliance should be connected to the same
outlet, to avoid interface with the printer’s operations.
l A fresh toner cartridge (product #EP-L)
l Paper
A package of 16-201b (60- 1 3.5g/m2) photocopier paper is best tostart with;
however, the printer can use thicker paper, as well as special media, such
as envelopes and transparent sheets.
